Still holding out for Amazon but may have to clear the calendar for 9:00AM MST and deal with crashing websites to get this thing.

The easiest way for me is I've got a browser plugin where I can just right click on an image and there's a "rehost image" that automatically uploads it to imgur.

Then I found if you add `l` (lower case L) to the last letter of the image URL before the extension it'll actually come back with a smaller size thumbnail.
EDIT: You can use m and s instead of l as well for "medium" and "small" thumbnails as well.

Then I just use that.

My Guess based on Series X shipping times is that nobody sees the PS5 until Monday.
Just horrible job by Best Buy on this. Series X should have shipped Friday and PS5s on Monday. Just no planning or foresight for the weekend / Remembrance Day

Not sure this is a Best Buy issue. Walmart has emailed saying there is a 2-3 day delay. Shoppers the same. Amazon too. Looking more like a Sony issue.

Yea my first hour Amazon and BB orders are still have no update... like wtf. I picked the two biggest retailers because I thought they'd handle their pre-orders well.

At least Wal-Mart has said something. Best Buy just charged my credit card like a week ago and nothing since.

That's more of a hold just to make sure you had the credit limit... they cancelled that on mine yesterday.

I just called Best Buy to see what was up, as I also had a pending charge that disappeared today. They said my order was still marked as being processed, but that there are no other issues with it. I will still be receiving my product. He said it looks like it should ship tomorrow. I didn't pay any extra for expedited shipping, so I had always thought Friday or Monday would be when I'd receive my PS5. So, as much as I was hoping for sooner, at least I know I'm still getting one. Fingers crossed. lol

No, I live in Northern Manitoba so paying extra for shipping is useless. I've been burned before trying that.

It is frustratingly hilarious that every single console launch has had so many issues with shortages and pre orders dating back to the PS2 (maybe earlier).
I remember pre-ordering my PS2 after saving all summer to find out a week before EBgames was not going to honor my pre-order because Sony had some kind of shortage and only people who paid for their systems in full got their pre-order. I recall being so angry as i was 5th on the list and would have paid out the balance if they called me to advise me before. I was fortunate that I was able to park outside the Canadian Tire on launch day about 40 minutes before they opened and got one of the consoles.
I was fortunate to get a PS3 from my girlfriend at the time for Christmas during the launch year. She had an in at Best Buy and was able to get one.
PS4 I lucked out and was able to get one shortly after launch at Best Buy by sheer luck of just calling them on a day they happened to receive a new shipment. The sales guy told me he would hold one if I bought a warranty and since my PS3 had fried 8 months earlier I took him up on the offer (that PS4 is still going strong so pure waste of money).
PS5 seems to be a similar gong show. I have tried a few times to get a pre-order. I mentioned earlier in the thread I woke up at 2AM to try for the Superstore preorder that started at 3AM about a month ago. Now based on what I am reading online it doesn’t look like anyone is getting their system tomorrow and likely early next week is the best people can hope for. I know I am going to try all the retailers I can tomorrow and just hope to secure one before Christmas as I will have a couple weeks off at the end of the year and winter is definitely gaming season for me.
Maybe it is to build suspense or maybe it is just the capacity they have to build these things but every console generation is never able to meet the demand. Covid seems to make this year even worse but I am actually glad I don’t even have the option of lining up somewhere tonight to try and get a PlayStation in store.
I definitely feel for the folks in here who were on the ball and got their preorder but now sit in limbo waiting to find out when they get their system. Hopefully many of you are pleasantly surprised in the next couple of days and it arrives.
I can’t wait to play the Spider-Man sequel as the original was one of my favorite games on the PS4 and one of my favorite games of all time.

Shipped from Best Buy. Now I book Friday off and get unreasonably angry when it doesn’t arrive until Monday. As is the custom.

Same. Just got the notice. Hoping that it shipped earlier today and they are just now updating their system but really just happy that it shipped.
